Important safety instructions
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, remove oven shelves, side racks, and all other cookware/
utensils, and wipe up large food spills or grease deposits.
Before starting a Self Clean cycle, make sure you move any pet birds to another, closed and well-
ventilated room. Some pet birds are extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during a Self Clean
cycle and may die if left in the same room as the oven during such a cycle.
During a Self Clean cycle, the oven reaches higher temperatures than it does for cooking. Under
such conditions, the surfaces may get hotter than usual and children should be kept away.
Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured
while climbing on the oven to retrieve items.
Do not install or operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you receive a
damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
Use only bakeware approved for oven use. Follow the bakeware manufacturer's instructions.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to substances which are known by the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm. Small amounts of harmful chemicals are given off in the
oven's self-cleaning cycle from insulation and food decomposition. Significant exposure to these
substances can cause cancer and reproductive harm. Venting with a hood or open window, and
wiping out excess food spills prior to self-cleaning the oven reduces exposure.
